Y CHECK BooK.

Application ined June ,2,-

My invention relates to check books of the character in which the checkentry leaves are separate from the checks. Heretofore, entry leaves ofcheck books have been distributed in sets of one or more among thechecks. But'in this form of check book, as well as in the more commonform in which each check and entry stub form one leaf, when the checksare torn out, the binding stubs of both the checks and the entry leavesmake the check bookthick at the binding end and thin 'at the free end ofthe covers. Further, the entry leaves when distributed among the checks,are so scattered as to make it inconvenient and diflicult to make theentries and to keep track of the balance.

My-invention consists primarily 1n binding all the entry leavestogether, preferably in front of all the checks, and secondly inproviding means for conveniently and cleanly removing all the bindingstubs of the checks from the covers when `the checks are used up, sothat the book of en try leaves then remaining will be equally thin atboth ends for more convenient storage, substantially as hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I shall firstdescribe in detail the mode in which I at present prefer toV carry theinvention into effect and then particularly point out the invention inthe claims.

Reference is to be had to the-accompanying drawings forming part of thisapplication, in which like parts are designated by the same numerals inall the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of a check book embodying my invention,parts being broken away.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the checks and theirbinding stubs detached from the book.

In lmaking the check book illustrated, I assemble all the entry leaves 4together at one end, preferably the front of the book, and all thechecks 5 together at, in this instance, theback of the book, and bindthe assembled entry leaves 4 and checks 5 between the front and backcovers Gland 7 respectively, so that all the check entries will betogether Vand entering and balancing thus greatly facilitated.`

Each entry leaf is printed by preference 1926,.. seriai Nil-113,323.Y

with a verticalcolumn 8 of check numbers, a vertical columnV 9 for therespective dates, a column 10 for the names of the respective drawees, acolumn 11 for the check purposes and columns 12 Vand 13 for the checkamounts and totals respectively.

I prefer tobind the assemblage of entry Vleaves 4 between the frontcover 6 vand a heavy blank leaf 14 in two short plies of strong bindingpaper or fabric 15, one ofl the plies being pasted on the inside of theont cover and the other on the blank leaf In like manner I prefer tobind the binding stubs 16 of the assemblage of checks 5 between the backcover 7 and a heavy blank f leaf 17 following the blank leaf 14, in twoshort plies 18 of strong binding paper or fabric, one of the plies beingpasted detachably on the heavy blank leaf 17, and the other on theinside of the back cover 7, so

that when the checks 5 are all used up," the l pasted plies 18 holdingthe check stubs 16 can be separated from the blank leaf 17 and the back'cover 7 respectively and all the check stubs 16k held therein removedfrom between the covers 6 and 7. At the same time, the blank leaves 14and 17 are removed, land as the entry leaves alone remain between thecovers 6, 7 a thin book of can be conveniently piled and stored.

`equal thickness throughout is formed which ,Y

'Iok bring the,v front edges of the covers 6 and 7 approximately evenwhen the checks and stubs areV thus removed, I make the front cover 6 sothat its front edge will project beyond the front edge of the back coverwhen the book is full of checks, as shown in the drawings.

` It is evident that many vchanges may be made in the details of myinvention as here illustrated without departing from the boundaries' ofmyl invention as defined by the following claims.

By binding all the entry leaves together in the front of the book andall the checks together in the back of the book, reconciliation ofdeposits with checks and balance is greatly facilitated.

I claim as my invention 1. A check book Vhaving all its entry' leavesassembled and bound together in one side of the back of the bookadjacent one cover, and all its checks and their binding stubs boundtogether in the other side of the back vofthe book adjacent the other`cover, n blank leztll between the entry leaves and the eovennnd :t toldot' strong` 'fabric iin which the cheek stubs irre bound, and the pliesol which fold are secured detztelmbly to the sziitl blank leaf und Coverreeliectively.

A cheek book having all its entry leaves assembled :1nd bound togetherin one enti of the bool; and all its checks assembled und bound togetherdetaehubly in the other end ol the bookJ the cover ol salici bookicljneent the Cheeks terminating normally inside the opposite cover, sothat when the cheeks and Stube are detached, the beek and liront eoverelwill terminate approximately together.

ln teetiinony whereof l. :Lllix my .asignaq ture.
